Agricultura Sostenible con Enfoque en Economía Circular

This study highlights the importance of transforming traditional agricultural practices toward a sustainable circular economy approach, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and enhancing the profitability and competitiveness of agricultural enterprises in the municipality of Sinaloa. The objective was to compare and evaluate sustainable agricultural practices oriented toward the circular economy in regional companies identified as Agricultural A, B, and C. A mixed-methods approach was used, with a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design, applying both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The sample consisted of three companies selected for convenience, and data were collected through structured questionnaires, open-ended interviews, and direct observation. The analysis included descriptive and comparative statistics. The results indicate that Agricultural A leads in sustainable practices, excelling in efficient water use, renewable energy, and waste management. Agricultural B shows strengths in clean energy and biodiversity, although it needs improvement in waste handling. Agricultural C stands out in water efficiency and the use of renewable energy but lags in biodiversity and circular economy practices. The study concludes that agricultural sustainability depends on the implementation of circular principles, the responsible use of resources, and the adoption of clean technologies to enhance the sector’s competitiveness.
